The Phoenicians never developed an alphabet.

This essay coalesced during the course of my research. Though I would find Mycenaean, Classical Greek, Byzantine, or even palaeolithic European precedents for ideas that appeared at much later dates in the Near East, and which later came to appear as far away as in India, the origin of these ideas would instead come to be attributed to the Near East. This essay is a partial attempt at elucidating the reasoning behind this systematic re-attribution which as has become obvious is the perpetration of a grand historical fraud.

The griffin is defined in the Wikipedia (current at the time of writing, 2020) as “a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's talons as its front feet”. The Wikipedia adds, “the lion was traditionally considered king of the beasts and the eagle the king of birds”. The Elamite griffin fits Wikipedia description—the griffins that appeared in the Aegean a millennium after the Elamite griffin had disappeared, do not.

Samuel A. Ives, Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt An English 13th Century Bestiary: A New Discovery in the Technique of Medieval Illumination (New York: H. P. Kraus, 1942; Series: Rare Books Monagraphs 1) [Book]   An anlysis (by Ives) of a thirteenth century manuscript, owned (in 1942) by H. P. Kraus ("Kraus Bestiary"), then by Philip Hofer ("Hofer Bestiary"), and now Houghton Library MS Typ 101, containing illustrated Physiologus texts. These are identified as the Dicta Chrysostomi and the De Bestiis of Hugo of Folieto. The text is compared to other manuscript copies of the Physiologus (Carmody B and Y, the Greek text edited by Sbordone, the Dicta Chrysostomi edited by Heider). This is followed by commentary and analysis (by Lehmann-Haupt) of the illustrations, with the conclusion that this manuscript was intended to be used as a model book. 45 pp., 8 pages of black and white photographic plates of images from the manuscript.Language: EnglishLCCN: 42019790; LC: Z6617.B4 I8
